/**
 ** The <CODE>User</CODE> interface is an abstract view on the
 ** user-specific data. Apart from a set of pre-defined, fixed set
 ** of attributes, the interface gives access to dynamic data
 ** as well.
 **
 ** <P>
 ** To enable a portlet to access dynamic data, the naming conventions
 ** of the portlet container have to be propagated to the portlet. It
 ** is recommended to do so through the portlet configuration. For
 ** example, if the portlet wants to access an "address" attribute, it
 ** should query its configuration for the dynamic data name of the
 ** "address" attribute for this particular installation. If no such

 **
 ** <P>
 ** <I>
 ** This interface has to be properly thought through. What are the
 ** the essential attributes? Should some be fixed (ie. the essentials)
 ** or all be dynamic?
 ** </I>
